Prelim Examination Flashcards
We define a __________ as the collection of all responses, measurements, or counts that are of interest
Population
__________ is a just a subset of a population. Since we cannot get the whole population to respond, we are using _______ to get a statement about a population
Sample
Any method of selecting a sample that utilizes a random sample.
Probabilistic Sampling
Techniques
The sample size of each stratum in this technique is proportionate to the population size of the stratum when viewed against the entire population.
Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling
Researchers select groups or clusters, and then from each cluster, the researcher selects the individual subjects by either simple random or systematic random sampling.
Cluster Sampling
A sampling technique in which the members of the population are not given an equal chance in the selection of the sample.
Nonprobability Sampling
Techniques
Choosing a sample based on the previous knowledge of the population and the specific purpose of the study or investigation.
Purposive Sampling
It is the process of selecting a sample based on the convenience of the investigator
Convinience Sampling
3 Main measures of Central Tendency
MEAN
MEDIAN
MODE
It can be used for ungrouped
and grouped data
Measure of central tendency
This is the sum of all data values divided by the number of values
Mean
The point at which an equal number of values fall above and fall below
Median
The value with the highest frequency
Mode
Sort data in order
0 2 2 2 3 4 4 6 40
Identify the median and mode?
The middle value is 3, so the median is 3
The mode is 2 since it occurs the most times
Sort Data in order
0 2 2 2 3 4 4 6
Identify the median and mode
The middle values are 2 and 3, so the median is 2.5
The mode is 2 since it occurs the most
